    Description

    "ROLLING THUNDER - MEDICINE MAN" HANDLOOMED BEADED HATBAND - Continuous Circle
    This is a hand loomed beaded Native American hatband.  The hatband is made in a continuous circle with a base of heavy duty upholstery thread.  It is made of size 11/0 seed beads and measures 1 1/2" across.  It does NOT have leather/cloth ties to get dirty or come unfastened.  It is also NOT made with a stretchy thread which will wear out over time and lose the integrity of the design by being pulled open.  The band is specifically made to fit YOUR hat.  It slips over the crown of the hat and fits snuggly at the base.
    My hatbands are produced of a mix of traditional and advanced beading methods.  The beads are a reproduction of the type used back in the 1700's to 1800's with slight irregularities.  My beading method incorporates an updated vertical edge which hides the raw edges of the thread and gives the piece a "finished" look.  It also protects the threads from wear.  I use a traditional Ojibwa loom.
    Please send measurement of the crown of the hat on the outside where the band will sit to within 1/16".
    It will take from 10 days to 2 weeks to complete this design.
    ALL PURCHASES MADE AT THIS TIME WILL BE REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 14 WEEKS DUE TO THE BACKLOG OF ORDERS.
